Game threads are so funny. You are making these comments after one inning isn't even completed. If we get mauled you look good. If we rally and win you will be all happy and forget this comment. Fans' emotions are amazing. You could be right, I'm just saying not even an inning is completed. My feeling is no matter what happens today we should be able to score one more run than this horses*** team we are playing.

Great post stretch. Their postseason flops frustrate me as well. That's why it was so cool in 05 when we got in we took care of business.

If Richard sucks again that's just sad. He should be ultra fired up to mow down the Royals. Although obviously KC is due.

I kinda liked Valentin all the way through his tenure. He was pretty good.

Wow that second list of names was good as well. Sox fans know their Sox history. I forgot about Kemp he wasn't very good either.

That's a pretty good list C - Sandy Alomar - He was Ok that one year wasn't he? 1B- John Kruk - He didn't do much. Ron Blomberg was also a bust at 1B. 2B- Robbie Alomar - He stunk IMO. SS- Royce Clayton (I can't really pick anyone for here, he fits) - One of my least favorite Sox of all time. 3B- Chris Sabo OF- George Bell - He actually complained during the playoffs as I recall about his place in the batting order or something. OF- Kenny Lofton - Huge huge bust. OF- Darin Erstad - Not a good acquisition for the Sox. DH- Jose Canseco - Hit a few bombs, but like you say stunk. SP R- Bartolo Colon SP L- David Wells CL- Billy Koch Can't argue with the pitchers. One year the Sox acquired Bobby Bonds and he was miserable. You came up with a pretty good list IMO.

Wow. Will he start over Broadway?

Cause I didn't expect this from them. I mean they even won the series from the Yankees. They beat us 3 of 4 when it mattered. Now they have 6 at home against lousy teams. I would have expected this from Det. and Cleve this year but not Minnie. I even expected KC to pass Minnie.

I love the Sox, but I'm amazed by the Twinks.

That's a cool story about the emails. Nice stuff.

Yeah a game would be nice if Minnie does indeed go 5-1 or 6-0. Ever since somebody posted that thread about us having to play 4 in New York, 3 in Minnie and three in KC in late September, I've felt kind of queasy overall about our chances.

I'd think it will be pretty obvious if his back is bothering him. Maybe not. I'd think there are ways a guy like Oz, who played the game forever, could figure it out. I applaud Juan for that play tonight, but I am not a big Juan Uribe fan. I am a big Joe Crede fan.

If Broadway pitches well, will Nancy Faust serenade the crowd with "Give My Regards to Broadway" as he exits to loud applause?

I forgot about him. How many big league wins did he attain? He was pretty strong when he was on.

I'm mostly serious. Can you imagine them not going at least 5-1 in the next six at home? And Yanks usually beat the s*** out of Minnie.

Well I don't have the stats. What has Juan hit in his last 50 at bats? If Juan plays D like this and can actually produce at the plate, I guess I'd keep Juan in there and spell him with Joe. Give me Juan's BA and RBIs over his last 50 at bats. I am not of the belief Crede is suddenly a bad fielder. You better believe Oz and KW are not going to play him if he's hurting. I tend to trust Oz on this one rather than panic about Joe's return.

The way the Twins are playing you'd think it's 5-1 minimum probably 6-0. They actually won a series vs. the Yankees? My god. Twins equal amazing; Yanks may be finished as they actually lose a series to Minnie, a team they normally own.

Guys, I trust our manager and GM. If Crede's back is lame he won't play. I think the guy is a damn good player and I want him back IF HEALTHY. To say Uribe is the answer I think is insane. He's playing well right now. I'd rather have Joe.

Great point. A lot of us think we know it all. I wonder if all MLB message boards have so many people who know it all. I mean Broadway may suck tomorrow but Richard sucked as well. I see no reason to make Carrasco a starter. Might as well trot out another candidate. We gave Richard 3 shots and he sucked. Hope our bats are alive tomorrow. They should be against another royals righy but youneverknow.

Yes Balta, but he's a good fielder. He'll get it back.

I like the enthusiasm, but isn't it crazy how close the race is and is going to be? Whoopie we'd be one whole game up! Great job Mark, especially in the inning when he made the error. Way to dig deep. Gotta love the relief job. That's good Dotel. We need that the next 6 weeks. He gets paid a lot. Do what you did tonight, Dotel. Royals are back in their usual funk. Glad to see us dispose of them easily. We really do need to complete the sweep this time. They are playing lousy.

Why? Tell me what are so bad his stats coming off a serious back surgery? I mean Uribe is no superstar. I just don't get comments like this.

They shoulda got kicked out of the Cell. That is bulls***. Assaulting White Sox fans is complete crap in our own yard. Cmon security, do you job in big series where you know the other team has asshole fans.

What were they doing bearsox? I'd be interested in hearing about those pricks.

Just for grins, if somehow we lost this game would you give up being a fan forever?
